Math Out Loud - Exploring Shapes in the Fourth Dimension and Beyond
Advertisement
What happens when we try to draw, fold, and visualize objects in four dimensions? Join mathematician Satyan Devadoss for a fascinating journey beyond the limits of ordinary space, inspired by the art of Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.
Through striking visual imagery, you'll explore shapes and drawings in higher dimensions, uncover a geometric mystery dating back to Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer, and discover how ideas about folding and unfolding shapes connect to everything from airbag design to the James Webb Space Telescope. Together we'll investigate tesseracts, higher-dimensional cubes, and the surprising mathematics of what can—and cannot—be unfolded.
General admission tickets are free with a suggested donation of $25. Purchase a VIP ticket for $70 to get premium reserved seating and access to an exclusive social hour after the talk with our speaker over food and drink.
Satyan Devadoss is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society and recipient of two national teaching awards from the Mathematical Association of America. His work and insights have been featured by NPR, The Washington Post, The Times of London, the Chicago Tribune, and the Los Angeles Times. After nearly fifteen years on the faculty at Williams College, he has also held visiting positions at institutions including UC Berkeley, Stanford University, The Ohio State University, Harvey Mudd College, UC San Diego, and Université Nice.
